Paradox of Hope

Even a desert is cold at night.
Even a cyclone is calm inside.
Even two parallels meet one time.
More than a million points form a line.

So keep your hope in the darkest of times.
Be aware that the sun always shines,
even if he's on the other side,
even if he often tends to hide.

Even Schroedinger's cat's still alive,
if you don't look too closely inside.
Even a monkey can write "Faust II",
if it gives it an infinite try.

So keep your hope in the darkest of times.
Be aware that the sun always shines,
even if he's on the other side,
even if he often tends to hide.

Garageband loops and my vocals 

Yeah I'm a cheeseball lol whatever. I'm going through some difficult stuff and maintaining mental well-being with music as one of my medicines. I'm not a traditional songwriter - I don't always go back into specific song structures - like there's no chorus in this because I literally just don't care right now lol - I just like to jam because it makes me happy and I use the lyrics to keep me centered. The lyrics in this song are about choosing to stay grateful in life even when it's getting you down - and finding what fills you with wonder and choosing to hold onto that while walking through the temporary icky parts of life. My soul feels more resilient when filled with wonder - and I'm filled with wonder every time I see the sunset for example - so - I'll be checking out the sunset to walk with wonder towards a life with more clarity and contentment. I'm gonna walk through the shadows with you (with wonder).

Lyrics:
I am so grateful grateful yeah
In the darkest moments
There is a light 
Can you find it?
Hidden in plain sight
In every moment
Light of wonder, shine forever more
I see you in the sky and in the shore
Guiding souls through shadows we explore
A beacon when the storms begin to roar
Roar
Bewildered and amused by
This universe that we share
Mysteriously profound and equally terrifying 
Yet somehow I still care
Carrying on
Carrying on
Carrying on
Carrying on
I’m gonna walk through the shadows with you - I’m gonna walk to the light

Wonder

New Day (Instrumental)

IT'S A FUNNY THING FOR ME TO SAY
BUT CHAOS COMFORTS ME
HATE THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
BUT DANGER SIGNS, THEY MAKE MY DAY
>
I TAKE THE RISK, I NEVER PRAY
IGNORING THEM THEY GO AWAY
I SHAKE MY FIST, SAY COME WHAT MAY
TOMORROW I MAY PASS AWAY
>
CHAOS
KEEPS ME COMPANY
CHAOS IS THE ONLY FRIEND I NEED
>
CHAOS
SHE SAYS THAT IT’S HER HAPPY PLACE
CHAOS
HER COMFORT BLANKET OF CHAOS
>
HOUSE OF DYSFUNCTION OR A STABLE HOME
NOT A DIFFICULT CHOICE UNLESS YOU’RE LIVING IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE
>
WHERE COMMON SENSE IS ABSENT
ALL THE RULES THROWN IN REVERSE
DON’T MAKE A LICK OF SENSE AND SHE KNOWS IT
HER DECISIONS GO FROM BAD TO WORSE
>
SURE TO MEET A SORRY END 
AND SHE’S LOSING HER BEST FRIEND
TWELVES YEARS OR MORE I’VE WASTED, 
NEVER ONCE LEFT HER SIDE
>
PROBABLY TIME I FACED IT, 
FORCED MYSELF TO QUIT
IT WAS A MIRACLE WHILE IT LASTED
BUT WAS INEVITABLE…..THAT WE’D SPLIT

CHAOS COMFORTS ME

NINJAMAN (Breakbeat edit version)

“Standing” is a UK Garage x Deep House hybrid driven by rolling 2-step drums, deep low-end groove, and powerful male vocals.

The track dives into themes of perseverance, self-belief, and rising through pressure. The chorus repeats like a battle cry—“I’m still standing”—giving the song an emotional edge while still hitting hard on the dancefloor.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever been knocked down but came back stronger.
Repost if it hits you. 🔥


Standing

Mr. Grinch "TechHouse" Remix

Dance with the Devil is a hypnotic collision of classic rap grit, trance elevation, and house-driven pulse. It moves like temptation itself—slow at first, then relentless—pulling the listener into a neon-lit inner club where desire, power, and shadow meet.

This track isn’t about evil for shock value. It’s about facing the shadow, locking eyes with it, and choosing whether you flinch or move in rhythm. Heavy basslines grind beneath ethereal synths. Spoken bars cut through the fog like confession. The beat breathes, seduces, then commands.

There’s fire in the rhythm.
There’s control in the calm.
There’s liberation in the surrender.

Dance with the Devil is for late nights, low lights, and fearless souls—where the line between danger and freedom blurs, and the dance becomes a mirror.

You don’t fall.
You don’t run.
You dance.
